Purple Panthers 3, Hot Shots 4

I took my niece Sophie to her soccer game today, but unfortunately I was not a good luck charm as they lost 3-4. Sophie played pretty well, but her team does not have a good goal keeper which makes a big difference. I thought the coaching was pretty bad, but then I realized it is hard to get second graders to listen for more than 10 seconds. The biggest problem was that they all run to the ball in a swarm, so the ball never really goes anywhere. One of the other teams coaches obviously understood this as he had one girl always stand on the other side of the goal from the swarm. The couple of times the ball squirted out she had a wide open shot on goal.
